F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby isn't just a novel—it's a cornerstone of American literature. With over 25 million copies sold worldwide and required reading in schools across America, Gatsby has shaped how generations understand the American Dream.Why does this 1925 novel still captivate readers a century later?
Fitzgerald captured something essential about America: the belief that anyone can reinvent themselves, the pursuit of success, and the complex reality behind the dream. His prose is considered some of the finest in American literature—elegant, precise, and unforgettable.
Three remarkable anniversaries converge: Gatsby turned 100 in 2025, America celebrates 250 years in 2026, and this year marks 60 years since Enn Soosaar's Estonian translation. Join us on April 30 to explore why this Jazz Age masterpiece still resonates today.
Come for the jazz and glamour of the Roaring Twenties—enjoy the discussion on a timeless story with our Fulbright research student Tucker McLain.
